The low-threshold shelter Rysseviken is run by passionate advocate Leif and houses some of society’s most vulnerable people. In this personal documentary, the filmmaker seeks answers to a question that shaped his upbringing—why his father dedicated so much of his time to working with others. Through encounters with the shelter’s residents and a gentle approach to his emotionally distant father, a loving portrait emerges. Den sista anhalten is a film about dreams, loss, and finding meaning where society fails.
